The Grave Slabs

In the north aisle are two interesting carved tombstones set into the wall.
One has a carved cross with chalice and book, indicating that it was the grave of a priest.
Other fragments of medieval grave covers with carved crosses are to be found in the porch floor, the wall near the Lady Chapel and the Good Samaritan windowsill.

Transcribers needed

We are starting on an exciting new project to create a Burial Ground Management System with the help of Atlantic Geomatics Ltd. Atlantic Geomatics have already created an accurate plan of our churchyard including all headstones and trees. We have now photographed all our burial registers and uploaded them onto the new system. The next action is to transcribe these burial registers into the system so that details can then be matched up headstones and a search facility created. Further enhancements would then follow.

So....we are now need volunteers to transcribe the burial registers. We already have a number of willing volunteers but can always use more. The work can be done anywhere and by anyone so long as they have access to the internet and the ability to type in details. The photographs of the burial register come up on screen together with the boxes to be completed for transcribing. Even if you are reading this in Australia you can still join in.
